ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa’s National prevalence is currently hovering at 11%, and while workers in the
field can take comfort from slightly lower annual incidents it has become difficult to
exaggerate the suffering caused by HIV/AIDS in South Africa, with statistics showing that 1
in 5 adults are infected.
This study interrogates aspects of the lives of 50 HIV positive children and a comparative
HIV negative group in an attempt to better understand the risk factors for children and the
factors that promote resilience. The aim of the study is to provide data and information
which could improve and inform prevention programmes focused on children thereby
decreasing HIV prevalence. The study focuses on a peri-urban area in KZN and is
implemented in high schools. The area is beset by unemployment and the resulting poverty.
The schools are state managed schools providing education to large numbers of children from
middle-income (parents are teachers, nurses etc) to poor children whose families depend
upon grants for survival. It could well be considered an average peri-urban setting.
It has been shown that absenteeism and low productivity are exacerbated by HIV infection in
the workforce. An HIV negative generation is one of many essential elements for an
improvement in workers’ productivity and to ensure that funds invested in skills development
are available to promote progress in South Africa in the future.
